This molded-case breaker is rated for up to 480V AC and offers a short-circuit interruption capacity of 14 kA at 480V, supporting reliable protection for feeders and motors in demanding environments. It employs a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism with distinct long-time and instantaneous trip functions and ships with a non-interchangeable trip unit, ensuring consistent performance in the field. The CE3040 is designed for bolt-on mounting and provides load-side lug terminals for secure wiring in compatible panels. As part of Challenger's CE series, this unit is built for compact, modular protection in installations requiring a fixed-trip, 40A three-pole breaker. Typical applications include protecting 3‑phase feeders or equipment loads in commercial or light-industrial electrical systems where a 40A rating matches the circuit's electrical demand. Compatible with standard Challenger\/Cutler-Hammer panels and CE-series enclosures that accept molded-case breakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Challenger","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51677935763758,"sku":null,"price":214.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_2f2e1b5e-397b-4464-9ce3-951be67f1533.jpg?v=1769569699","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/challenger-ce3040-molded-case-circuit-breaker","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
